Earnings season continues to chug along, with a wide variety of companies reporting daily.
We’re well into the season now, but there still remains a large number of companies yet to report.

HF Sinclair is a diversified, innovative energy company that manufactures and sells products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, renewable diesel, and others.
